Comment (by svenpanne):

 Just a few more hints why this is not a bug (all from the Haskell Report):

 * Numerical literals with a dot in it have an implicit `fromRational`
 around it.

 * Not surprisingly, `fromRational` forces its 1st argument to be a
 `Rational`.

 * The default default is `default (Integer, Double)`.

 * `(**) :: Floating a => a -> a -> a`.

 With that information you can figure out why e.g. the division in a) is a
 different kind of division than the one in b).
